is not effected directly by prices in europe. but a sharp and sustained prize in energy prices in europe would raise the unlikely but scary possibility of europe's fragile economy being pushed back into recession that could deal a direct blow to u.s. companies, investors and consumers. calls for sanctions are increasing. sanctions worked against libya and iran, but russia is closely tied to europe through those pipelines that carry crucial natural gas, so while the idea may appeal to americans, they are a harder sell in europe. the european union gets a quarter of its natural gas supplies from russia and half of that is routed through ukraine's pipeline network. any disruption would hit germany which defends on the gas to run its factories, especially hard. and if prices of germany out put increases that would rock europe. russia could shut off supplies pre-emptively in response to the threat of sanctions or step things up militarily sending troops into eastern ukraine which is part of the natural gas transit route to europe. >>
